The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising is excited to welcome all of our new and returning students back to campus this fall! For some of you, this will be your first steps on the physical campus and we know many of you will have questions about how to access your Academic Advisor throughout the semester. We are here to help!
We are happy to offer virtual walk-in advising from August 31st through September 14th. During this time, you may log into our Virtual Front Counter to receive immediate one-on-one assistance from our staff, Monday - Friday between 10:00 am - 3:30 pm. Same-day appointments will also be available for students through September 14th. Please review UMBC’s COVID-19 response information before visiting campus.
Our Virtual Front Counter is a great place to get help with any of the following: adding a class
dropping a class
waitlisting or swapping a course
finding the perfect GEP course
Have more detailed questions about your major or academic pathway? In addition to virtual walk-in advising, we also offer both in-person and virtual appointments. You don't have to wait until Advanced Registration to meet with your Academic Advisor!
Already have a declared major? View information on academic advisors in your major using our Departmental Advising website.
Per current UMBC Policy, social distancing and masks are required in the office at all times, regardless of vaccination status. Campus building access is restricted to faculty, staff and students approved to work, live and take classes on campus, therefore additional guests are not encouraged to accompany student to in person appointments at this time.
All events, groups, organizations, and centers are open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.
